1366406 2014-01-30 01:01:00 So I just got a new HTC One...love it. The charger is only 1A, much to my surprise.

Should I be able to use the Samsung 2.1A charger with it without issue?

Thanks.

1366407 2014-01-30 02:41:00 probably, providing it's 5V there should be no issue. It won't necessarily charge any faster though, having more current available doesn't mean the in-built charging circuitry will use it.

Some chargers are a bit more tricky, my asus transformer charger puts out 15V to charge the tablet but if you plug a normal usb device into it it drops back to 5V and works fine in theory but I have plenty of chargers and the thought it might send 15V into something puts me off using it for anything but the tablet.

1366408 2014-01-30 03:03:00 Right - thanks. They are both 5v. Thanks. Charging time actually seems OK with the HTC charger, it's just nice having a charger at work and at home. wratterus (105)
